Leicester City face a trip to Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Foxes will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 26 and win only 7 of the 45 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2005, when they played out a goalless draw in a Championship match.
